Water

The City of Huntington Beach has owned and operated its own water utility since 1964, when it was purchased from the Southern California Water Company. Since that time the City and the water system have grown to service a population of over 200,000. Today, City employees run the Utilities Division's five distinct sections: Administration, Quality, Production, Distribution and Meters.

Sewer

In 2004, the Sewer Maintenance Section was merged with the Water Division to form the new Utilities Division of Public Works. The City of Huntington Beach has 360 miles of wastewater piping sized from 6 to 30 inches in diameter. City crews perform the maintenance and repairs necessary to keep the wastewater system operating at peak performance levels.
